CHORIZO AND CORNBREAD STUFFING

Provided by Aarón Sánchez

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish (optional)
1/2 cup chicken stock (low-sodium store-bought is fine)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Grated cotija cheese, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon and stirring occasionally as it cooks, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic to the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have browned, about 10 minutes. Add the crumbled cornbread and cilantro and gradually pour in enough of the stock so the stuffing is not too dry but at the same time not too wet. Stir gently and well.
  • Butter a small casserole dish. Spread the stuffing in an even layer. Bake until it's heated through and lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes. Serve right away, garnished with the cilantro and cotija, if desired.

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for the pan
4 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
4 large eggs
1 1/3 cups milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1 pound chorizo, casings removed
1 small onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 poblano chile pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
4 to 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons salted roasted pepitas
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 425˚ F and oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and fine salt in a large bowl. Stir in the eggs, milk and vegetable oil until combined. Pour the batter into the pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool, then cut into 1- to 2-inch cubes. Spread out on a baking sheet and let dry out at room temperature overnight.
  • Make the stuffing: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and poblano to the skillet and cook, stirring, until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, sage, oregano and 1 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper and cook, stirring, 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F and butter a 9-by-13-inch or other 3-quart baking dish. Whisk the eggs and 4 cups chicken broth in a large bowl. Add the cubed cornbread (about 12 cups) and the cooled chorizo mixture and toss to coat. (If the cornbread seems dry, add up to 1 more cup broth.) Transfer to the baking dish, dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cover loosely with foil. Bake 30 minutes, then uncover, top with the pepitas and continue baking, uncovered, until the top is golden and crisp, 30 to 35 more minutes. Top with cilantro before serving.

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 lb. cornbread, cut into 1" cubes (about 20 cups)
2 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2" pieces (about 6 cups)
2 Tbsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 lb. fresh chorizo, torn into small pieces
2 large onions, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 Fresno chiles or jalapeños, chopped (optional)
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tsp. paprika
3 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 bunches Tuscan kale, stemmed, torn into 2" pieces (about 12 cups)
1 cup hard cider or dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped sage
6 large eggs, beaten to blend
2 quarts homemade chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, divided
Special Equipment
A large roasting pan or large disposable aluminum roasting pan

Steps:

  • Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Divide cornbread between 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Bake, tossing occasionally and rotating pans top to bottom halfway through, until beginning to brown in spots and dry out, 35-40 minutes. (Drying out the stuffing will help it absorb the eggs and stock without becoming mushy.) Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, cook sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until just beginning to soften but not fully cooked through, 7-9 minutes. Drain; transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chorizo, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned and slightly undercooked, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to bowl with sweet potatoes.
  • Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over medium. Add onions, celery, chiles (if using), garlic, paprika, 1 Tbsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add kale in batches as it wilts, then cider and sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer to sweet potato mixture and toss to combine.
  • Whisk eggs, stock, and vinegar in a large bowl or pitcher; season with remaining 1 Tbsp. salt and 2 tsp. pepper.
  • Brush large roasting pan with an even layer of melted butter. Spread one-third of cornbread pieces in pan. Top with half of sweet potato mixture and spread to evenly distribute. Drizzle one-third of egg mixture over. Repeat with another third of the cornbread, remaining sweet potato mixture, then another third of egg mixture. There will be a lot of liquid in the pan-don't worry, it will become absorbed as the stuffing bakes. Top with remaining cornbread, then drizzle remaining egg mixture over. Brush top with remaining butter. Cover pan with foil and bake stuffing until heated through, about 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until surface is golden and crisp, 20-30 minutes longer.
  • Do Ahead: Cornbread can be toasted 1 day ahead; store tightly wrapped at room temperature. Sweet potato, chorizo, and kale mixture can be cooked 1 day ahead; cover and chill.

Categories     Bread     Side     Bake     Super Bowl     Lunch     Casserole/Gratin     Sausage     Cornmeal     Corn     Hot Pepper     Jalapeño     Sour Cream     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound Chorizo, removed from casing
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream or yogurt
1 (8-ounce) can creamed corn
4 fresh Anaheim chiles, fire-roasted, peeled, and chopped
1 fresh jalapeno chile, seeded and finely chopped or 1 (4-ounce) can green chiles chopped
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Crumble and fry the Chorizo in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes to render some of the fat. Put the sausage meat and 3 tablespoons of the fat in a large bowl. Add the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, eggs, sour cream, corn, chiles, and 1 1/4 cps of the cheese. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Generously butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole, 9 by 9-inch baking dish, or 10-inch heavy skillet. Spoon in the cornbread batter. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the cornbread turns golden and smells wonderful. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh chorizo and chiles. If you can't find fresh chorizo, you can substitute Mexican chorizo sausage, but be sure to cook it thoroughly.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can bake the stuffing in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to cover it with foil to prevent it from drying out.
  • To make sure the stuffing is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the center. The stuffing should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the stuffing immediately with your favorite holiday dishes.

Conclusion:

This cornbread stuffing with chorizo and chiles is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for any holiday gathering. The combination of sweet cornbread, spicy chorizo, and flavorful chiles creates a stuffing that is both hearty and flavorful. Whether you serve it with turkey, ham, or chicken, this stuffing is sure to be a hit.
